Groomlakearea51 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Cornwall-II's were introduced in 1986; yours are Cornwall-I's (also called Cornwall 1.5's due to different crossover -B3- and use of a K-57 midrange driver and plastic horn. See: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/103886.aspx which details how to read the serial numbers, finishes, Heritage product description time lines, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HudsonValleyNoah Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 also, SOME 1.5s had the k-52 with the metal k-600 horn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 also, SOME 1.5s had the k-52 with the metal k-600 horn... ..which is called a K57assembly The last official factory upgrade for the CW involved putting the K52 driver on the K600 horn and changing to the B3 network. This is what we call a CW1.5 (yes I'll take credit for coining that model number). Marshall, were there ever any factory CW's built with the K52 on the K601 plastic horn- mounted behind the motor board? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 that's a K52 driver guys, but thanks for confirming. K57 is the designation for a K52/K600 assembly, I promise you. If the drivers are stamped K57 they still are K52 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 CP: One of my pairs also has the 57 rear mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
